First lesson learned. Drill the holes before painting the bucket.

Second lesson learned. I will need an O ring on the outside as well as the inside where the water indicator penetrates the bucket wall. At this time I only have an O ring on the inside....I have a very small leak.

I have two O rings on the drain and no leaks. Lessons learned and will be corrected tomorrow.

Here are the construction pics.

First pis is the painted bucket.

Second pic is the basket installed. I am trying 3" baskets first cos I have a bunch of them.

Third pic shows the stopper installed.

Fourth pic shows the fittings for the top and bottom of the water indicator.

Fifth pis is looking down onto the top water indicator installed.

Sixth, seventh and eighth pics show the indicators inside the bucket being installed.

Ninth and tenth pics show the indicator installed outside.

This is as many pics as I can post at a time so I will post more pics below.
